This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/gnnk69YglDT. Standards Applied: NGSS: Next Generation Science Standards CCSS: Common Core State Standards Overview and Background: Human-made objects are designed to meet specific needs, but they can also have unintended consequences. This thing was created using Tinkercad, a free online platform for designing and editing 3D models. It's an open-source software that allows users to create and modify designs with ease. Lesson Plan and Activity: Objective: Students will learn about the design process and how it applies to real-world problems. They will also understand the importance of considering multiple perspectives when creating solutions. Materials: - Computers or laptops with internet access - Tinkercad account (free) - 3D printer (optional) Procedure: 1. Introduction: Discuss the concept of design thinking and how it's used in various fields, such as engineering, architecture, and product development. 2. Modeling: Have students create their own 3D models using Tinkercad. They can choose from a variety of templates or start from scratch. 3. Design Challenge: Present students with a real-world problem that requires creative solutions. Examples might include designing a new chair for a community center, creating a sustainable water filter, or developing a prosthetic limb. 4. Collaboration: Encourage students to work in groups and share their designs with each other. They should consider multiple perspectives and iterate on their designs based on feedback. 5. Conclusion: Have students present their final designs and discuss the design process they used to get there. Assessment: - Observe student participation during the activity - Evaluate the quality of their designs and written explanations - Review their ability to work collaboratively and consider multiple perspectives Extension: * Invite a guest speaker from a relevant field, such as engineering or architecture, to discuss real-world applications of design thinking. * Have students create a prototype of their design using 3D printing technology.
